Damien Drake writes hard-hitting crime thrillers centered on a homicide detective working the worst cases in a city full of corruption and violence. The Detective Damien Drake series, which began with Butterfly Kisses (2017), has grown to 12 books that follow the title character through increasingly dangerous investigations.
The series is known for its unflinching look at crime, from serial killers to human trafficking to drug operations. Drake’s writing keeps the pace relentless and the stakes personal, as the detective’s cases often hit close to home.
